BHN 2022-23 Boston Bruins, NHL Season Predictions

Can the Boston Bruins make one last run for captain Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Krejci and help them hoist their second Stanley Cup?

Will the Colorado Avalanche repeat?

Do the Tampa Bay Lightning still have another deep playoff run in them?

Are the New York Rangers ready to take the next step and make the Stanley Cup Final?

All those questions are answered by my partner-in-scribe Joe Haggerty and myself in the Boston Hockey Now 2022-23 Boston Bruins and NHL regular season predictions:
